A Briefing to Address Liveware Integration Needs

Abstract

The briefing text and slides contained in this document were developed as part of a human system integration (HSI) effort to integrate all human system components (HSC) into the weapon system acquisition process--an effort that, in turn, is a relatively small part of the much broader joint Department of Defense (DoD)-industry initiative in computer-assisted acquisition and logistic support/concurrent engineering (CALS/CE). The briefing was presented on December 11, 1992, in Strasbourg, France, as part of a workshop on Liveware Integration Needs sponsored by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Five topical areas are reviewed: (a) system concepts, (b) processes employed to integrate HSC (people or Liveware ) into the design of systems, (c) goals of the joint DoD-industry initiative to develop and implement CALS/CE in the acquisition process for future weapon systems, (d) the role of CALS and CALS-HSC as HSI-enabling technologies that will provide the practical means to integrate human system components into the acquisition process, and (e) the likely future of these Liveware, HSI, and CALS-HSC efforts.
